Chapter 359: Chapter 0359: The Ominous Island

In the morning, the sunlight streamed through the large glass windows into the room.

Wang Xiaoya squinted her eyes, lazily hugging Long Fei as she rubbed her little head against him.

Outside, a two-meter-high courtyard wall acted as a barrier, and the windows were one-way; they could see out, but no one could see in.

No need to worry about exposure, and still able to enjoy the sunlight in the bedroom.

Wang Xiaoya lay on top of Long Fei, staring out the window for a while.

Having stayed the night, she still felt a bit unaccustomed.

Today, she planned to go back and pack up her things and say goodbye to Zhang Li.

The lease on the apartment she had been renting was just about to expire.

Moving out now, she could even save a bit on rent.

In the future, she wouldn’t need to worry about the landlord suddenly raising the rent, no more rushing and competing for the bathroom with Zhang Li in the early morning, no more fears of cooking smoke leading to complaints from neighbors, and no concerns about being suddenly kicked out by the landlord and having to find a place in the frigid weather.

This place, from now on, would be her home.

She could cook whenever she wanted to, stay in whichever room she liked, spend as long in the bathroom as she wished, and invite her parents over whenever she wanted.

No one had a say, and no one could interfere.

Her eyes reddened; she was clearly so happy, yet she felt the urge to cry.

Everything was good, everything was a hundred times better than she had dreamed.

There was just a small regret, that the man in her embrace wasn’t completely hers.

She had now come to terms with it and wouldn’t compete with Lin Yingying anymore.

Even without Lin Yingying, there would certainly be other women popping up around Long Fei.

He was indeed like his name, like a dragon ascending to the sky; it was natural for girls to admire him.

Wang Xiaoya just hoped that he wouldn’t forget her, that he would come to keep her company when he had the time.

Even if they couldn’t get married, she was content.

But if Long Fei were to marry another woman, she would disappear from his side immediately.

A relationship was fine, but if it came to marriage, wouldn’t she be the other woman?

Her thoughts meandered until suddenly, her buttocks tensed.

Long Fei, seemingly not knowing when he’d woken up, had grabbed and firmly kneaded them.

Wang Xiaoya’s face turned red as she pushed his big hand away.

Long Fei smiled, "You’re up early!"

He rolled over and pinned Wang Xiaoya beneath him.

Wang Xiaoya supported herself with both hands against him, pouting, "Don’t, I still have to go to work later!"

"I can ask for a day off for you," Long Fei said, his eyes burning with desire.

Wang Xiaoya shook her head, "That won’t do, even if I don’t go to work, I still have to move and pack up my things today."

"Alright, I’ll let you off this time!"

Long Fei flipped back over, got up, and without putting on clothes, went out to the bathroom.

Wang Xiaoya covered her eyes, but sneaked a peek through a tiny slit.

That muscular body, full of strength, made her blush and her heart pound rapidly.

Once the two of them were washed and dressed, they were about to leave.

Chu Feng sauntered over and pressed the doorbell outside the iron gate.

Long Fei looked at the gate, then went out to open it for him.

He carried a bottle of cocktail, resting his hand against the doorframe, and asked Long Fei with a smile, "Is the house comfortable to live in?"

"Not bad."

Long Fei smiled and asked him, "Aren’t you afraid Miss Li will be jealous bringing women home so openly?"

Chu Feng replied indifferently, "I don’t have anything going on with her, so why would she be jealous? I have to cancel this marriage arrangement when I see her grandfather."

"You’re something."

Long Fei called out to him and they entered the house together.

Wang Xiaoya greeted them with the politeness of a hostess.

Originally, she planned to have breakfast outside with Long Fei, but since Chu Feng arrived, she immediately changed her mind and said to the two, "You guys chat, I’ll go out and buy some groceries and cook you breakfast."

"How considerate, sister-in-law!"

Chu Feng nodded with a smile, looking at Long Fei enviously, "To have such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?"

"Are you jealous, as if you’re short of women?"

Long Fei gave him a sidelong glance and started making tea with hot water for him.

Chu Feng sighed and said, "Though there are many women, good women are few! You should see my place, with drunken women littered all over the floor, it’s annoying just to look at."

"You’re kidding right, just flaunting that to me?"

Long Fei picked up the tea scoop and jokingly hit him with it.

Chu Feng dodged and said with a laugh, "That’s what they say, money is easy to come by, true friends are hard to find. You just don’t get me."

After Long Fei finished making the tea, Chu Feng put down the bottle and took a sip from his cup.

The tea leaves were his own.

It was the special tea of Lin’s Group’s antique conference, the premium West Lake Dragon Well, very refreshing to drink.

Long Fei asked, "What brings you here so early in the morning instead of staying in your cozy little world? You’re not here just to chat with me, are you?"

"Look at you, how you’ve become so mundane!"

Chu Feng shook his head, put down the teacup, and said, "Actually, I do have something I need to talk to you about."

"What is it?"

Long Fei raised an eyebrow with curiosity.

Chu Feng took out his mobile phone, opened a document, and handed it to him, "Take a look at this. Next Monday, Li Zhenni is organizing an adventure trip to Devil Island, located three hundred nautical miles from Qingdong City. This island has been known as the ominous island since ancient times, roughly the size of Binhai City and still undeveloped. There are undercurrents around the island and rocks everywhere; large ships can’t get close. The island is covered with greenery, and the center is shrouded in miasma all year round, with plenty of poisonous snakes and wild beasts. Over the years, hardly anyone who has gone on an expedition there has reached the center."

Long Fei looked at the document and frowned with curiosity, "So, what are you guys heading there for?"

Chu Feng shook his head, "It’s Li Zhenni and her group that want to go, and I have to go back to my hometown recently. Thus, I hope you can accompany them and take good care of Zhenni for me."

Long Fei laughed and said, "Got a crush, huh? And you said you had no feelings for her?"

Chu Feng replied seriously, "Don’t overthink it, that’s not what I mean. I have too many flaws, if I were to be with anyone in this lifetime, it would surely harm them. Li Zhenni is a good person, I’ve always treated her like a younger sister. So this time, I’m relying on you."

"Don’t worry about it!"

Long Fei agreed. He had always been helped by Chu Feng and had yet to return the favor to this brother.

Since Chu Feng had asked, he naturally would not refuse.

"Why did Li Zhenni choose this island for the expedition?"

He scrolled through the information on the phone, which showed no particularly attractive features.

Chu Feng opened a second document for him and explained, "Originally, Old Master Lin and Old Master Li were both zealous adventurers; they spent a fortune on information about the locations of some legendary treasures. Devil Island was one of them. It is said that there is a type of flower on the island grown by a Spiritual Beast to nurture its offspring. The vitality contained in this flower is even stronger than Ginseng; it can repair aging cells in the human body and has the effect of prolonging life. You know, Old Master Li is getting on in years. Presumably, Li Zhenni wants to show filial piety by getting some life-extending substances for him!"

Long Fei flipped to the end and saw a petal.

The veins on the petal were distinct, and it seemed to contain bloodlines, similar to human veins.

It was named the Blood Spirit Flower.
